Activities

Our
safe and secure gardens offer a variety of experiences for all age
groups of children. The all-weather safety surfacing allows the
opportunity for your child to use the garden every day. The nature
garden gives children the opportunity to enjoy planting and growing
activities, and to increase their knowledge of birds, animals and
insects. The bird feeders encourage a variety of species of birds
into the garden and squirrels are a common sight in the trees
surrounding the nursery.

We
also have a mud kitchen in our middle garden giving the children the
opportunity to explore their natural environment. We have recently
had a sheltered outdoor literacy unit built with various literacy
experiences allowing the children to engage in activities outdoors as
well as indoors.

Our
Spanish teacher visits once a week to our 3-5 room. She teaches the
children Spanish through games, songs and stories making it a fun
introduction to a new language for your child. The children
thoroughly enjoy these sessions and are always keen to participate.

The
Sports Development teacher visits the Meadow Room once a week and the
children have the opportunity to take part in fun sport activities to
encourage health and physical development. The children really enjoy
these sessions and look forward to them regularly.

We
feel that nursery outings are an important way for children to learn
about the world around them and the children go on local outings to
the park, library, museum etc. on a regular basis. With the help of
parents we are also able to take the children to places further
afield like Calderglen Country Park, Balloch Country Park and the
Transport Museum.
